| Abstract | The spatial distribution of leaves is related to the exponent of the self-thinning relationship in plant populations. In this study, we evaluated the fractal dimension of rosette leaves of wild-type (WT)Arabidopsis thaliana and of an abscisic acid (ABA) -insensitive mutant (abi2-1) to test a model of the spatial distribution of leaf form in anArabidopsis population based on subdivision of a cube surrounding the leaf into uniform boxes and to investigate ABA’s affect on this model of the leaf. The values of the self-thinning exponent were -1.31 and -1.45 for WT andabi2-1. The mean dimensions of the box used to model the spatial distribution of leaf form, estimated using our model, were 2.08 and 2.03, respectively. By assuming that the box dimension equals the fractal dimension within the populations, the predicted self-thinning exponent equaled -1.40 for WT and -1.49 forabi2-1. When exogenous ABA was applied to both genotypes, the self-thinning exponent became -1.26 and -1.43 for WT andabi2-1, and the exponents predicted using the dimensions of the box were -1.37 and -1.46, respectively. The empirically predicted exponent equaled that predicted using the dimensions of the box (95% confidence interval). Empirical prediction of the spatial pattern using the two genotypes with and without ABA showed that ABA influenced the spatial form of the rosette leaves. Therefore, sensitivity to ABA can affect self-thinning through genetically determined changes in leaf form and its spatial distribution. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
